A Note from the Publisher
T
his year we celebrate 15 years of serving you and the renewal of classical education in the United States, a renewal that is now expanding farther into the English-speaking world. For us, this is no mere business endeavor—it is a passion and a calling. Most of the time, it is also fun. We never tire of noting what a delight it is to serve with so many wonderful people. Even our “competitors” (fellow publishers and consultants) are our good friends. This makes our work a cause for celebration. So, many thanks to our customers, our publishing colleagues, our authors, and our collaborators for your friendship and fellowship. I would also like to thank my team members here at Classical Academic Press (CAP), who help to make everything happen. They make it joyful work. The renewal keeps growing, and so do we. This year we are pleased to release ClassicalU (www.classicalu.com), our platform for offering teacher training for classical educators who wish to grow into master educators and mentors. After a year of testing and refinement, this service is being released in its “beta” phase. This means that the site is ready for use, but not yet fully developed or built out, and is currently available by invitation only. The site features leading classical educators from around the country presenting recorded training courses in a progressive, clear format. Several of our best training sessions will be offered free to anyone. You might also visit ClassicalReader.com, another new site designed to make it easy to find superb literature for your student, with book listings filterable by grade, genre, and level of difficulty. You will also note that our consulting team is growing. This year we are glad to add Jenny Rallens (expert on memory and liturgical learning) and Jason Ulbrich (expert on classical charter schools) to our consulting team. We are also glad to announce the publication of another important book: Well-Ordered Language: The Curious Child’s Guide to Grammar (Level 1A & 1B). We are confident that, after a year of being piloted in eight classical charter schools across the country to rave reviews, this series is a guide to grammar that is clear and systematic but also beautiful and engaging. Written by veteran classical teacher Tammy Peters and Hillsdale education professor Dr. Daniel Coupland, these books begin our four-year series on grammar aimed at upper-elementary students. Finally, we can note some other exciting publications: Our French for Children series will now feature two books (Primers A and B). We are also thrilled to release the first of a two-book series on high school rhetoric: Rhetoric Alive! Book 1: Principles of Persuasion. This book is written by Dr. Alyssan Barnes, who teaches rhetoric at a classical school and has her doctorate in . . . rhetoric. We are also delighted to release Everyday Debate, another book by CAP author Shelly Johnson, this one addressing how to engage in formal and informal debate and Socratic discussion. We are excited by the growth we are seeing in the renewal of classical education and in our own company and look forward to many more years of producing thoughtful classical curricula.

Why Latin?
D
orothy Sayers points out that when you study Latin, you are doing advanced study in several subjects simultaneously. The following are some of those other subjects studied in and through Latin as well as some of the benefits of studying Latin: • Professions steeped in Latin vocabulary: law, medicine, science, music, art, and philosophy • Romance languages: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian are all forms of Latin. • Educational virtues: The study of Latin requires concentration, analysis, and puzzle solving that develop a student as a student. It also helps gifted students to slow down and attend! • English vocabulary: 50% of all English words come from Latin; 90% of all polysyllabic words come from Latin. • English grammar: The regular grammar of Latin is ideal for shedding light on the way all languages, including English, work. • Writing/Reading: An increased vocabulary and understanding of grammar enable students to write and read with greater ease and clarity. • Pleasure: Deciphering the “secret code” of Latin and reading great authors in their own tongue is a pleasure that can last a lifetime!

Song School Latin
Optime!
The Song School Latin series (Book 1 and Book 2)
C
hildren love to sing and love learning while singing! They happily learn their ABCs to song and can also learn Latin words, vocabulary, and phrases. The classical model of teaching commonly uses singing to teach young children, so we have employed it throughout our Song School Latin series. Each student book comes with a bound-in CD filled with lively songs and chants children love that help them master their Latin vocabulary. Educators often tell us how their students go around singing these fun (and funny) songs throughout the day on their own! Even if you have never taught Latin before, you can easily walk children through Song School Latin, and enjoy the journey yourself! Song School Latin is designed so that children can do much of their work independently, learning from the music CDs, the creative teaching DVDs, and the user-friendly books themselves.
“A six-year-old boy’s favorite part of school is Latin? Want to know why? We’re using Song School Latin. We love this curriculum! I cannot recommend this book enough for [those] who want to introduce their early elementary students to Latin.” —Amy S. “Classical Academic Press seems to have a knack for producing materials that are academically sound and very user-friendly for teachers and students. Song School Latin does not disappoint!” —Nancy D. “My [students] loved Song School Latin so much that they begged me to get Song School Greek. It’s a wonderful introduction and well worth every penny!” —Laura

Latin Upper Grammar
Latin for Children
by Aaron Larsen, DA & Christopher Perrin, PhD In its fourteenth year, the Latin for Children curriculum continues to be a strong, inviting, and creative program designed to introduce students as young as third or fourth graders to Latin. It incorporates elements that will engage students of every learning style. As a step beyond just an exposure to the language, when used as a whole, this series trains students in grammar, vocabulary, and English derivatives in a lively, interactive way that is perfectly suited to students in the grammar stage. The Latin for Children series is taught directly to the child and is a perfect choice for teachers and parents, including those who will be learning along with their students.
“I love Latin for Children and Latin Alive! I teach Latin in middle and high school, and this is honestly the first curriculum I haven’t had to rewrite (or at least seriously tweak) in order to teach it. It’s all there, well written and fun to use. The kids love it, I love it, and I’ve seen the kids grow in understanding and application of the language. Thanks CAP!” —Jennifer D. “Last year I taught two classes of Latin Alive! (Latin Alive! Books 1 and 2). Most of my Latin Alive! Book 1 students had completed at least one or two years of Latin for Children. I was so impressed with the Latin knowledge they came into my class with! We were able to move much more quickly. This year, when I began looking for new curriculum for my 5th- and 6th-grade Latin students, I immediately started looking into using Latin for Children. I would love to give my students the core Latin knowledge that I saw in my past students!” —Marley

Rhetoric Alive! by Alyssan Barnes, PhD, for grades 10–12
Finally, a rhetoric textbook that is especially well suited for today’s high school student! CAP is pleased to announce the release of Rhetoric Alive! Book 1: Principles of Persuasion, a clear, compelling, and delightful text on rhetorical theory and practice. In order to defend the true, promote the good, and reveal the beautiful, we must do more than merely teach good content and clear thinking. We must also persuade. The highly engaging Rhetoric Alive! explores the principles of winsome speech as developed in the foremost text on persuasion, Aristotle’s Rhetoric. The fifteen chapters of Rhetoric Alive! step through the essential components of persuasion—the three appeals, the three types of speech, and the five canons. Each chapter includes an exemplary classic text for analysis and discussion, spanning from Pericles’s “Funeral Oration” to Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Students will also have plenty of practice developing their own rhetorical skill through the weekly workshops, imitation assignments, and oratory presentations. Three appeals Three types of speech Five canons Ethos (speaker’s credibility) Deliberative (exhort or dissuade) Invention Pathos (audience’s emotion) Ceremonial (praise or blame) Organization Logos (argument’s reasoning) Judicial (accuse or defend) Style Memory Delivery Rhetoric Alive! Book 1: Principles of Persuasion is written by Alyssan Barnes, who holds a PhD in rhetoric. An experienced rhetoric teacher from Live Oak Classical School, Dr. Barnes takes the wisdom of the ancients and makes it accessible to students of the third “trivium art.” Created with the high school student in mind, Rhetoric Alive! is clear, incremental, creative, and beautifully designed and will delight student and teacher alike.

Our elementary Spanish curriculum is unlike any other. How so? It is the only elementary curriculum on the market that seeks to teach students how to speak Spanish correctly by teaching the principles of Spanish grammar. Why is this? Well, many modern educators are hesitant to teach grammar to young students and they want students to start speaking the language right away without the distraction of learning grammar. Idea: Isn’t it really because educators want to see the immediate benefit of students being able to say a few phrases? Learning correct Spanish is well within the reach of elementary students who will learn and enjoy it as they see the language “power” it imparts.

Introducing CAP’s new grammar program! for grades 3 or 4
What if the study of grammar could harness a child’s natural curiosity? What if it could be a source of delight to children? What if students could apply their grammar skills in later years and not just recite them? The WellOrdered Language (WOL) series presents the study of language in a way that appeals to a child’s inborn curiosity and desire to collect, gather, and order. It presents grammar in a clear, orderly way, while simultaneously seeking to cultivate a child’s wonder of language by presenting instruction in the context of narrative and language, attractive illustrations, and samples taken from classic children’s literature and poetry. Students will not merely be able to identify the parts of a sentence, but will understand how words behave in a sentence. As students see the components of language (the parts of speech) unfold before them throughout the Well-Ordered Language series, they will be able to apply their knowledge, gathering and arranging words to express their thoughts clearly and accurately. The Well-Ordered Language series is designed so that teachers and students actively engage with each other and with the grammatical concepts in each lesson, using language skills—reading, writing, speaking, and listening— along with physical movement, songs, and chants. Through the unique, creative, and orderly method of analyzing the grammatical functions of the parts of speech, students will find the mastery of grammar achievable, meaningful, and delightful. Each level is a full year of grammar covered in two books (A & B). Each book is one semester long. Three more levels are currently in production for a full four-year grammar program. We will release one level (two books) per year over the next three years.

Poetry 7th grade & up The Art of Poetry 7th grade & up
by Christine Perrin, MFA “I dwell in Possibility— A fairer House than Prose—” While we think of poetry as the best words in the best order, we sometimes forget how important its poetic or metaphoric thinking is to various subjects, such as writing, speaking, business, and science. The Art of Poetry is an excellent middle or high school curriculum that teaches the practice of reading a poem closely and absorbing its beauty.
The Art of Poetry (student edition) This book contains 16 chapters and more than 100 poems. The first 8 chapters cover the elements of poetry (such as images, metaphor, rhythm, and tone); the final chapters cover the forms of poetry (such as ode, villanelle, and open verse). Each chapter includes an extensive explication of 1 poem, along with exercises and discussion questions on additional poems. Included in the text are biographies of 51 poets, a glossary of terms, and an index of all the poems and authors. Also available are several suggested teaching schedule options and an application section with ideas on how to continue a study of poetry. A free downloadable MP3 file with readings of most of the poems from this book is available online at ClassicalAcademicPress.com. The Art of Poetry Teacher’s Edition This edition is a valuable resource for teachers that includes the entire student edition and an answer key, as well as detailed and fascinating explications of 39 poems. The introduction for the teacher offers teaching tips and suggestions. Thorough appendices include a poetry time line, quizzes for each chapter, and a cumulative book quiz. The Art of Poetry DVD Set This DVD set features more than 15 hours of The Art of Poetry author teaching 4 thoughtful 8th-grade students through the entire The Art of Poetry text. Many of the discussions, which proceed chapter by chapter, capture the “magic” of a Socratic teacher encountering strong students and timeless works of literature. Whether your student is interested in writing, wants to understand the way poems are made, or simply wants to become more attuned to language and metaphor, this is an ideal resource—a course in a box for middle or high school students. The author demonstrates in real time the end-of-chapter activities, which are intended to teach students the practice of poem writing.

Reasoning & Reading: Level One 5th–6th grade
Reasoning & Reading: Level Two 7th–8th grade
Reasoning & Reading 3rd–8th grade
by Joanne Carlisle The Reading & Reasoning workbooks develop basic language and thinking skills that build the foundation for reading comprehension. Exercises reinforce reading as a critical reasoning activity. Many exercises encourage students to come up with their own response in instances in which there is no single correct answer. In other cases, exercises lend themselves to students working collaboratively to see how many different answers satisfy a question. Reasoning & Reading is an excellent supplement to any grammar program and is best used 1 or 2 days per week. All the books in the series share the following: • Unit I, Word Meaning: comparing, contrasting, and classifying words, and discriminating between good and vague definitions • Unit II, Sentence Meaning: complete sentences, recognizing the main thought, as well as time order, cause and effect, comparison, generalizations, and examples • Unit III, Paragraph Meaning: topic sentences, signal words, unity, examples, and support for the main idea • Unit IV, Reasoning Skills: fact and opinion, relevance, syllogisms, and inferences

Creating Skilled & Virtuous Thinkers 7th grade & up
Spring Release
W
e use logic every day, often employing it to distinguish “logical� arguments from those that are unreasonable. However, few of us have been trained in logic so that we can quickly
detect bad reasoning, attach names to fallacies we encounter, and articulately form our own reasoned arguments. By studying informal and formal logic, as well as rhetoric, students will gain and learn to apply these vital skills. Studying informal logic and the informal fallacies (everyday arguments gone wrong) will aid students in recognizing bad reasoning and identifying fallacies. Studying formal logic will also further train and hone students’ minds, enabling them to determine the form that arguments take. The study of rhetoric will teach students how to create, find, and arrange content in order to craft their own persuasive arguments.

by Aaron Larsen, DA & Joelle Hodge with Chris Perrin “My chief objection to a quarrel,” G.K. Chesterton wrote, “is that it ends a good argument.” Middle and high school students will argue (and sometimes quarrel), but they won’t argue well without good training. The Art of Argument is designed to teach the argumentative adolescent how to reason with clarity, relevance, and purpose. The mastery of informal logic (the logical fallacies) is a foundational subject by which other subjects are evaluated, assessed, and learned. The Art of Argument can be used as a semester- or yearlong course. See our website for schedule recommendations. e Art of Argument (student edition) This book teaches 28 informal fallacies (such as begging the question, Th the straw man, ad hominem, etc.). Clear explanations and illustrations, along with dialogues, worksheets, and dialectic discussion questions, make this text easy to follow and make the fallacies fun to learn. The fallacies become relevant with practical applications through an analysis of current social, commercial, and political issues, as well as more than 60 comical and clever phony advertisements. Fun extras are included, such as a humorous skit for students to perform and the famous short story “Love Is a Fallacy” by Max Shulman. e Art of Argument Teacher’s Edition This edition features the entire student edition, along with answer keys, Th teaching tips, and invaluable chapter and unit tests. e Art of Argument DVD Set This DVD video series features three experienced logic teachers and four capable, Th enthusiastic students discussing the 28 fallacies presented in The Art of Argument. This video series is a valuable resource for every student using The Art of Argument. Each video segment features 1 fallacy, which is presented, defined, and then discussed and explored using a blend of enthusiasm, contemplation, and humor. Each discussion seeks to make a practical application of the fallacy to student life, advertisements, political speech, or various kinds of ethical and philosophical debates.
